i know this is an old post but i will post a few questions anyway. since you say the castor oil possibly releases the and distributes the fat to more needed areas, do you think that if you apply the castor oil packs to cellulite ridden areas on the body that it might have the same effect thus reducing or even clearing up cellulite completely? also, are there any side effects from using castor oil packs? what are castor oil packs used for mainly?
